Mark I believe it does pull from the same thread pool but not sure if it is 'counted'.
Alternatively it could be implemented such that whenever data is written to a queue we check if the target of that queue is a funnel and if so then immediately do the right 'next' thing until the next target isn't a funnel. Could do the same with local ports..
